Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Large Vernal sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 656th most-seen of the 748 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Large Vernal in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April to February, the lowest months.
Between 5 and 8 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Large Vernal sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Kruger National Park, in our data
Kruger National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Large Vernal sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Nolidae
The closest relatives of the Large Vernal that you can see in Kruger National Park (family Nolidae, Tufted Moths) are Red Flag (about 10%), Cream Drab (about 10%) and Spiny Bollworm (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Large Vernal is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (5 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
